Ahhhhh Lexa is so cuddly in that oneshot! 😍😍

She had to be

Listen to me

She had to be

Because this little ray of sunshine?

Deserved to be allowed to be cuddly

Because the thing is, she always wanted to be. She did. Even when she didn't know how to ask for it. Even when all she knew how to do was nudge the door open for Clarke and wait silently to see what she'd do

Even when she didn't feel like she deserved to want it.

Lexa spent so much time worrying about Clarke's comfort and boundaries. So much time carrying the weight of her decisions like a scarlett letter on her chest. She lived with the guilt - not for the decisions themselves - but for how those decisions hurt Clarke, and how it all ultimately lost her the girl she had fallen so hard for, so fast.

But still, there were so many instances where she wanted nothing more than to be allowed to be soft. And you could see it.

So many times when she put herself out there just to feel like a fool in the end.

You could see it in these tiny glimpses of moments, her hesitation. Her disappointment. Her wanting so badly to reach out. But not letting herself.

Always waiting to be pushed away. Always accepting when she was. Always swallowing the pain of her own heartache while aching to be let in...

Which is why the second Clarke said yes? Lexa absolutely let the floodgates open.

While we saw after their first time she had given Clarke space again, had rolled away to recover from being fucked into a nap the intensity of finally getting to have that intimacy with Clarke, I don't think it was because it was what she wanted to do. I think it was pure instinct. Fear. A learned habit to always give Clarke space, and always another chance to push her away should Clarke want to. Seeing how Lexa operated when it came to Clarke, I don't think she took them having sex for granted in the aspect of "oh now all is forgiven." I think even after having Clarke make love to her, a piece of Lexa would've been careful not to push for too much too soon. Been too clingy. Assume Clarke woukd want to cuddle with her, to hold her. To even want Lexa to touch her the same way so intimately.

But.

When Clarke gave the ok? When Clarke made it clear that she was open to that?

Oh she smiled.

And she was happy

She held her hand during sex for godssake, you can't get more mushy than that

And even in her final moments, what made her break? What was the only thing that really truly cut through the pain and the strength of Heda, and gave Lexa a moment of solace?

Clarke's touch.

Clarke's comfort.

Being able to soak in another moment of just being close to her. Loved by her.

Lexa was always a touchy a person. She craved that physical intimacy with Clarke from day one. I mean we're talking about a woman who decided to casually ~take a nap~ on her canopy bed with the drapes open while an almost complete stranger waltz around her tent. She was always sending out the signals out that not only did she want more emotionally from Clarke, but that she wanted more physically. And I don't mean sex (ok well not just sex at least), she wanted that soft comfort of just being near her too.

So yeah. 100% I believe if given a chance to have more moments together after they'd both finally let each other back in, every time Clarke even halfway made it seem like she was open to it, I think Lexa would've become more and more comfortable letting go of her fears and been as affectionate as she'd always wanted. I think she would've become more and more snuggly, more tactile in her expressions of love and pride, to the point that when they were alone I don't think Clarke would've quite known what to do with herself and her little commander-noodle-arms shaped shadow

They still would've argued all the time tho

Clarke & Lexa's first kiss

Don't we deserve better than that?

[butmakeitgayblog]

god that gif set goes so crazy every time, no one is doing it like them. Heda wanted her SO. BAD. ‼️

Listen I get it ok. I was there in the camp of losing my fucking mind when this happened. But man I just... it's a shame that we get so lost in the gay sauce over this moment —

— that we really don't give enough credit to the rest of what's going on

Cuz like,,, at no point was Lexa actually afraid of Clarke. She'd just had her storm her ass into her tent in the midst of a hissy fit while holding a gun to a warrior's back, and Lexa's only response was to be offended that her makeup regimen got interrupted

Literally the girl was not fazed beyond just, "... what the fuck 😒?" And you know that because Clarke continued following her around the tent while they argued, HER PISTOL STILL VERY MUCH IN HAND, and the whole time Lexa is just flat out sassing tf out of her.

I just cannot stress enough how not at all intimidated by Clarke Lexa was.

But when Clarke called her out on her facade of having no feelings? When she blatantly called her a liar for pretending that she didn't care about the losses of her loved ones as deeply as she clearly did???

That's when Lexa's demeanor changed.

That's the moment Clarke became a danger.

Not because she ever thought Clarke would physically hurt her, but because she knew in that moment that Clarke actually saw her.

And it terrified the hell out of her.

Because you have this strong, fearless warrior. One who has accepted the reality of her own death since she was a child. One who has done everything she can to push away everyone and anything that makes her feel vulnerable. One who has spent years trying to bury all these feelings that she's convinced herself are a weakness.

And then this smartass, reckless, blonde little 👏menace👏to👏society just takes the very boot that Lexa had given her, and kicks the whole thing down.

And you see that in that moment. Not a fear for her safety or any intimidation of Clarke. You see that brave little toaster trying to keep it together while feeling the entire house of cards come tumbling down.

Because she already cared about Clarke. She admits that only a moment later. Because she is emotionally flailing here.

Desperately clinging to this mask with her normally regal tip of her chin that now only manages to come off shaky and unsure.

Every step she backs up is another piece of that facade falling, but she can't stop it because if she lets Clarke actually touch her, then that facade wouldn't just fall.

It would completely shatter.

And oh, oh this sweet summer child. She tries so valiantly one last time to save herself. Back pressed against the table, and clinging to her belief that to be alone is to be strong. But that snarled "Get. Out." through beared teeth and trembling lips is nothing more than the death rattle of that mantra, because the damage has already been done. Because the second Clarke even begins to include herself in that people that Lexa says she doesn't care about, Lexa immediately has to correct her.

Cuz the jig is up, and she knows it. Clarke has invaded her lands, stomped her way into her personal space, and terrifyingly made a place for herself in Lexa's very fragile heart.

And there was just nowhere left to run.

Clarke initiating most every smooch in canon. She just wanted to kiss her girlfriend 🥺

Well ok listen. No 🤣😅

Lexa was the first one to initiate kissage.

I will never ever ever ever ever let that fact be forgotten. And this isn't aimed at you anon, it's truly not I'm just ranting. This is purely a point of order that I always feel is necessary to bring up because too often Lexa is, for understandable but ultimately misguided reasons, painted as being shy or reserved or hesitant in showing her affections.

She absolutely was not.

That girl? Went for it. Ok? She sucked in a shakey little breath, uttered those three apocalypticly romantic words—

and dove head first into the feeling that had been building between them from the start.

And not ONLY did she Go For It™, she really tried to make that kiss count 👇

Like the girl was barely willing to come up for air. And then she did, what did she do? What did she do?

That's right.

Cuz Lexa: does not half ass anything. Including going for the girl. She saw what she wanted and was Gonna Go For It 😏. Smoothe Heda style.

I mean even after Clarke said, "Not yet," Lexa continued to court her. Lowkey, granted, but she absolutely was courting her. Keeping Clarke close. Exhalting her position next to The Heda. Inviting her to Polis. Holding her hand when they went to blow the door. Keeping her protected (when Lincoln tries to follow, her furiously commanding him to stay and protect Clarke in her place)

She was respectful of Clarke's wish for more time, but still very much continued to persue her in subtle yet meaningful ways.

I've said it before and I'll say it again—will probably continue saying it until the people at the nursing home decide it's easier to just pull the plug to shut me up—but I think where people (again, not you specifically anon I'm just ranting 🥴) get it twisted is because after the mountain, Lexa gave Clarke space.

That's it.

Because again, she respected her!

She thought Clarke hated her. Despised her. She understood Clarke's hurt on a personal level, and understood how hard it is to let go of that. She had broken everything they had built, and wasn't sure it was something she could ever repair between them.

So even though she still left the door open for Clarke—giving Clarke protection, showing vulnerability, swearing oaths and vows to her, inviting her into her personal space, accepting and attempting to return intimate touches and not getting angry when she was rebuffed—she purposefully allowed Clarke to set the tone of their relationship.

She left it up to Clarke.

Not because she didn't want to go for it, but because she knew she had to.

She loved Clarke and respected Clarke enough to never cross the line she had drawn. After the mountain, nothing was the same as it was when they were alone in that tent so many weeks ago, just two young women forced to be leaders too young, trying to find balance in the universe between what they want and what they have to be.

But 👀

As soon as Clarke stepped over that line herself?

Once she waved the white flag and invited Lexa back in?

Lexa, still worried about overstepping this fragile truce between them, literally crying with the fear of losing Clarke forever, along with the hope and disbelief that this thing—this feeling she'd been carrying with her for months—was finally ok to let out?

What did she do?

She jumped on those lips

Was two seconds away from trying to crawl inside Clarke's mouth

So overall like, ok maaaaybe Clarke initiated more kisses. But I argue that's simply because of how things transpired. I fully believe, without a second of hesitation, that if things had gone differently or if they had been given enough time to really Be Together (fuuuuck you Jason), Lexa actually would've proven herself to be the more demonstrative partner. More kissy kissy.

Yes Clarke is a tactile person, yes she can be extremely affectionate. Lord knows she'd hug a tree if she felt it necessary. But Lexa? Lexa is a yearner. She's a lover babe. She wants kisses and hand holding and hugs and midnight candlelit talks in slinky nightgowns. And that's just what we know from the devastatingly little we were shown. Imagine the amount of stolen kisses and pecks to Grumpy Clarke Lips she would've indulged in if given the chance. Sleepy good morning kisses and "I'll see you at dinner" goodbye kisses. Nasty makeouts in the wake of pulling Clarke into shadowy corridors of tower that the only Heda's are allowed to go. Kisses to dry tears and kisses to bruised knuckles and kisses across clusters of tiny freckles.

I love Clarke and I'll never, ever claim that she isn't affectionate, because she is. But yo. Mm mm mm. Nobody has the market cornered on being Down Bad for her girlfriend's lips like Lexa is.

I mean look at this silly bitch

It's embarrassing girl close your mouth ಠ_ಠ

Look, I'm just saying if I had a girl who looked at me like that. I would simply forgo all thoughts of vengeance and just skip straight to the future where we're happy with a kid.

May Jeff find peace and may Aubrey heal.

I don’t expect Aubrey at the Globes tomorrow, and I hope she takes the time off to heal. However, if she doesn’t and still attends? That doesn’t make her look bad, we all just manage our grief differently.

I don’t think we should say anything regardless of the outcome, because we don’t live it.

My heart is absolutely broken for them all; Jeff’s family and friends.
